COLD START on the HAND CRANK HATZ DIESEL!! First attempt!!

So, we have a 13 hp single cylinder Hatz diesel engine. It is a hand crank diesel engine. It has a decompression valve that aids starting. It also has a port in the cylinder head for "starting paper". We have yet to find a source to buy this "starting paper". We have found several online recipes to make it, but we have to find out if it is legal to buy the ingredients. We definitely don't want to end up on some list somewhere.
So, this is our first attempt at cold starting this diesel with the hand crank. Enjoy.

You guys are determined! Love the effort. Look forward to seeing you guys win this battle.

[@progressivedynamicsolution1769]

Thanks, another attempt coming soon.

Who needs a gym membership when you can try to fire up a Hatz diesel with a hand crank lol That looked absolutely exhausting! Hope it starts next time. Keep up the great work!

[@progressivedynamicsolution1769]

Thanks. I hope after all this cranking, my one arm doesn't get bigger than the other.

[@wmwardwell]

Kudos to your software manuf. for including a speed up mode that was still fun to watch.

[@driveheronman4304]

This is so funny I grew up staring the E75 rollers an road saws 😂 if no one is dedicated to watching that compression leaver leave it so😆

Next time it will start.

[@janikoivunen1148]

Hi guys! Pro tip; it looks that this engine has some kind of fixed rpm thing, release it and make sure that you can adjust lever to max rpm. If you look below the pump unit, there is a small knob. Adjust rpm lever to max position and pull that knob, it should came out something like 4-7mm and then you have forced injection engaged. It’s automatic, so if you gently lower the rpm it will go to run position. It should then start without Zündfix easily. If not, there is something more to inspect. These are really durable engines, but air leaks, wrong valve clearances, worn rod or worn piston pin turns these to gym equipment.

[@progressivedynamicsolution1769]

Thanks for the tips. We will look Into it.

I ended up to create a channel as I found one video about starting my plate compactor wich has Hatz Diesel. Is this the way to become a youtuber? 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6mueYqkodh2fs0

[@ollioittila1297]

Yep, done that. I had a Hatz engine in a small forwarder. It was coupled with a hydraulic pump, which made it virtually impossible to start cold. I served my sentence with it, the forwarder broke, donated the engine to a friend.

[@progressivedynamicsolution1769]

Hopefully we figure out its problems.

[@wmden1]

That thing is a killer. Set up a gas or electric motor, belt, and pulley to whirl it over with. Set a good hair dryer on high and blow it through the intake, while turning it. You might also, crack your fuel line, at the injector and make sure you are getting fuel up to the injector. If not, turn the engine over, or pump the primer pump, if it has one, with the line cracked until you see fuel. Then tighten the line fitting, and try cranking it. If you didn't t get fuel, you have a fuel supply problem, as in pump, too much air in the system, or stopped up line.

[@progressivedynamicsolution1769]

A hair dryer is a good idea. Thanks

[@martinfoster5163]

I live in Mongolia (extremely cold winters) and I relate to the problems of getting a diesel going after after it’s gotten cold. Mine is a diesel generator with a pull start. It’s a nightmare to start unless it’s bee. Sitting at room temperature.

[@johnnyrottensr.6549]

A bit of crank case oil inside the combustion chamber would greatly increase your Engines compression ratio for faster start-ups.

[@misuratanianinstrumentatio1251]

Ive got the engine 20years old was stock on the warehouse i try to re start but not strating i need the starting paper to where we can buy..

[@ritassahish3325]

Hi guys your fuel system has air, you have to purge air from fuel injector first.

[@progressivedynamicsolution1769]

We wondered about that. Thanks for the heads up.

[@ritassahish3325]

You have just to unscrew 2 turns injector delivery pipe, after it crank the engine until you get fuel sputering ,after tight back. You have to get at the end white fumes from exaust port its mean you get diesel in cylinder.

Just add oil to cylinder, done

[@miketm8200]

Use brake cleaner as a starter works perfect!!

[@doctintifax]

This is fascinating. Could you comment a little more on the vegetable oil thing?

[@progressivedynamicsolution1769]

The idea was to preheat the vegetable oil because it doesnt burn as easily as diesel in the engine. We may revisit that idea once this engine runs reliably.

[@jobo805]

Just put a bit motor oil in the intake. IT create higher compression/higher temp. Works great

[@progressivedynamicsolution1769]

Good tip, thanks

[@TDIMAXDIESEL]

there is no fuel at all going into the cylinder !

ROTFLMAO !!! Not a clue !!! So, I'll give you three tips..... 1. It's a diesel engine. Try running it on diesel. ONLY after you've got diesel going into it.... 2. Fill the oil primer with oil and squirt it into the cylinder. And then, 3. set the injection pump to excess fuel.... 4. Crank the engine over a couple of times 5. Then start the f*cking thing - if you're strong enough - I know I'm not - damned Hatz engines ! 6. Once it's running, run away - go make a coffee while it warms up. 7. Return to it once warm, reduce engine RPM (to a tick-over) so you can hear yourself think, then it'll be ready for driving things. Deisels don't have a lot of power when cold. Hatz diesels have none. Best of luck. Oh, and the burney thing/wick - that's for cold starting it but you'd probably do better throwing the whole damn engine in a fire ! Starting one of those is great for warming YOU up ;)
